Fantastic Friday: A request

>We all have books we don’t want, right? We bought them thinking they’d be great and they weren’t. Or we got duplicates as a gift. Or even you’ve switched your entire library to an electronic one and have only ebooks now. What do you do with all those books you’re not reading?

Well, I have one suggestion. A good friend of mine, Ebyss Writer, is asking for donated books to help with her students. She can explain it better than I can, so please read below.

I work with lower income and special students who want to expand their knowledge through a college education, but they are struggling with reading and/or mathematical concepts.

I would like to start a book drive.This way these students can improve their reading scores through practicing what we all love to do—-read.As we know, the more you read, then the better you get.Plus, I hope to ignite in them a passion for exploring other worlds and other people through the written word.

I am asking for you to help me by donating books for this cause.Any MG or YA books would be greatly appreciated.

New or used–doesn’t matter.Fiction or non-fiction—doesn’t matter.The only thing I would like to do is keep the reading lvl at MG and YA.

What I plan to do when I get with these students is let them choose a book for them to keep.A lot of these students don’t read—at least by choice—and I’m hoping to expose them to great novels.

If you would like to help, please leave a comment, message me on twitter or leave me a message on facebook.Also, if you could plz retweet this or like on facebook with a link to spread the word would be appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Thanks everyone who can help or pass along the word. If you leave a comment on here for her, I will pass it along. I’m already going through my books to see what I can give her.
